Thetrueazure: Now I know Nami losing was bad...but I won the bet. *Holds his hand out* Pay up Kazuma!
Kazuma: Fine! *Gives the money to him* I don't see why this is fair, you already knew who was going to win.
Thetrueazure: I know, but you were to oblivious to figure it out. I do not own Yugioh 5D's or their cards. I do however own Ritsu, Kazuma, Miharu, Shin Himuro, and the cards I make. Other OCs and OC cards belong to there respective owners. *Counts money* I'm rich!
"I end my turn!" Nami said "I have to hope that card Kurogasa drew isn't a speed spell, because if it is I'm finished!"
"My turn!" Kurogasa drew his card
Kurogasa: 50/SPC:8
Nami: 250/SPC: 2
Kurogasa smiled "Sorry Nami, you fought a good match, but it's my victory! I activate the effect of Speed World 2, removing 4 speed counters to inflict 800 points of damage for every speed spell in my hand, and just so happens that I have one right now. It's the card I drew through the effect of Defense Draw!" A golden laser hit Nami's duel runner, causing it to stop as her life points hit zero.
Kurogasa: 50/SPC: 4: Winner
Nami: 0/SPC:0
"AND IT LOOKS LIKE KUROGASA WILL FACE RITSU FOR A CHANCE TO DUEL AGAINST SATOSHI!" The MC said
"Yay! My Kurogasa is the best!" Kuraki said
"Gotta say I'm impressed." Terra said
Kurogasa walked up to Nami and extended out his hand
"You did pretty well." Kurogasa said
"But, I didn't beat you." Nami said "I thought I had gotten stronger but-"
"What are you talking about?" Kurogasa asked "I never asked you to beat me. All I said was to show me how much stronger you've gotten, and you've showed me that."
Nami smiled "Thank you Kurogasa, but I wouldn't underestimate Ritsu, he's gotten stronger in the past three years."
"Come on, do I look like the guy who would underestimate his opponent?" Kurogasa asked as they both started to laugh.
Ch.30 Friend till the End
Keira was helping Krad to Satoshi's tower. When they entered, Kuraki and the others stared at him with cautious eyes.
"Hey." Krad weakly said as he sat down with Keira while everyone was still staring at him "Look...I'm sorry if I didn't tell you guys about me sooner, but I didn't know that it would escalate to this."
"You still should of told us." Terra said "Ritsu almost got killed out there."
"He said he was sorry OK!" Keira snapped causing Terra to shut up "Let's just watch the duel."
Ritsu was getting ready for his turbo duel with Kurogasa.
"Well look who might become champion." Ritsu turned to see Drake and Ashelyn standing there.
"Drake! Ashelyn!" Ritsu said as they waved at him.
"You can just call me Ashley." Ashley said "We just came to wish you good luck."
"Hey thanks." Ritsu said "When the tournaments finished, we can have that tag duel!"
Drake smiled "I'm gonna hold you to that."
"WELCOME BACK DUELISTS TO THE FINAL MATCH FOR THE FINAL ROUND! WHICH OF THESE TWO DUELISTS WILL GET THE CHANCE TO DUEL SATOSHI FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE? WILL IT BE THE MASTER OF DRAGONS RITSU HIMURO? OR THE LIGHT LORD OF DUELING KUROGASA KURURUGI!" The MC said "NOW LET'S INTRODUCE OUR FIRST COMPETITOR, HE'S THE MASTER OF DRAGONS; RITSU HIMURO!" Ritsu drove full speed out of the entrance and stopped at the starting line.
"Wow, I'm surprised he's able to stand after that duel." Kazuma said
"There's no way he's can duel in that condition." Iris said in concern
"AND HIS CHALLENGER, HE'S THE LIGHT LORD OF DUELING, THE ONE WHO ALWAYS HAS A PLAN, KUROGASA KURURUGI!" Kurogasa also left the same entrance and stopped at the starting line
Kurogasa noticed Ritsu panting heavily "Ritsu, you OK?"
"Yeah..I'm fine." Ritsu said as they activated their Speed World 2 spells
Duel mode engaged, autopilot standing by.
The air display showing the countdown appeared "Ready, set, duel."
Both duelists dashed through the Racing Track, both were head-to-head trying to getting the lead. Kurogasa smiled and slowed down as Ritsu accelerated passed him and got the first corner.
Kurogasa/Ritsu: Duel!
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 0
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 0
"I'll go first! Draw!" he yelled, drawing his sixth card. "First I summon Axe Dragonute (4/2000/1200) in attack mode!" The armored dragon appeared "And place 2 cards face-down" Two reverse cards appeared behind the armored dragon as he caught the corner. "You're up Kurogasa!" he said smiling as a sudden pain ignited in his back making him shake for a moment, but he gained control his runner before anything bad could happen. "Damn, that duel with Krad took more out of me, then I thought."
"Oh man, Ritsu's in pain." Krad said as he clenched his fist tightly "Why did this have to happed?"
"It's because you can't keep your darkness in check." Satoshi coldly said, catching a glare from Keira
Kurogasa drove up to him looking at him worried, but he drew his card instead. "Like you said, I am up, so here I come Ritsu!" he said as he added the card to his hand
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 1
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 1
"I activate the Speed Spell Overboost!" Kurogasa's runner shot past Ritsu with incredible speed "This increases my speed counters by 4, but at the end phase they drop to one!"
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 5
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 1
"Next I activate the Speed Spell- Double Summon! Since I got two speed counters, I can summon twice, as long as I remove two speed counters! Come forth Haos Siege(4/1900/1400) and Haos El Condor (3/1300/1100) in Attack Mode!" The white knight and shaman appeared side by side "Since El Condor was successfully summoned I can change the level of one of my monsters to a desired level for tuning. I change Siege's Level to 5" El Condor conjured up a spell for Siege (4-5)
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 3
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 1
"Oh boy, here it comes!" Ritsu said, getting ready for the Kurogasa's ace Monster
"Oh yes its coming! I told you I am not going easy on you, and I meanT it! Now El Condor, give Siege a little tune-up!" Kurogasa ordered as his signature tuner exploded into 3 synchro gates forming a tunnel, which Siege jumped through, revealing 5 stars in his body
Grinding light of the heart's soul, pierce and shatter through the darkness! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Haos Omega Leonidas (8/3000/2500)
Kurogasa's mightiest creature appeared with a might roar, shattering all the remaining windows away as it spread it wings and glared towards Ritsu.
"Wow, Omega Leonidas already on your first turn! You have become much stronger than before!" Ritsu praised while he was clutching his left side in pain
"Wait until you see this! Leonidas, attack his monster with Omegas Eraser!" Leonidas charged a huge amount of white energy in his mouth before releasing it in a giant Beam towards Ritsu's monster.
Ritsu grinned "I activate the trap card Dragon Cry! Now all Dragon Type Monsters with a level lower than 4 cannot be attacked!" Dragonute pulled his breath back and released a devastating roar which blocked Leonidas's attack. "The Duels just started so don't get any weird ideas!" Ritsu called, while Kurogasa just simply grinned.
"Was just testing you. Seeing if you would counter that move. Very well, I place two cards face-down and end my turn!" Two reverse cards were placed behind Leonidas while Kurogasa's duel runner decelerated, thanks to Overboost's effect.
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 1
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 1
"Give it everything you got Ritsu!"
"You bet I will, I draw!" Ritsu drew his next card with all his might, dashing around the next corner.
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 2
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 2
"Now, get ready for the Speed Spell Count Up, by discarding cards from my hand, I gain 2 speed counters for every discarded card, so good-bye card, hello speed counter!" Ritsu discarded one card as his speed counters rose by two.
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 2
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 4
"Now, I gathered enough Speed Counters to activate this card here, the Speed Spell- Speed Fusion! Now I send Axe Dragonute from my field and four more Cards in my Hand to the Graveyard, in order to summon the mightiest Dragon of them all!" Ritsu called, as the Sky started to warp, when five different colored Beams shot into the Sky, creating a giant Hole.
"So your bringing out that card." Kurogasa said with a smile on his face
"I fusion summon the Five Headed Dragon (12/5000/5000)!" Ritsu yelled as the five-headed giant descended to his side, all of it's heads were roaring in unison. "Now it's time for my power house to rock the field! Attack Leonidas with Five Elemental Blast!" Ritsu ordered as his giant dragon fired a multi-colored beam towards Leonidas.
"I activate my trap card known as Power Frame! Here's the deal; first I negate your attack, then Leonidas gains attack equal to the difference of their attack, so thanks for the boost!" Kurogasa's Face-Down popped up, absorbing the multi-colored attack and transferred the power to Leonidas who embraced the newly gained power(3000-5000).
"Damn, I place two cards face-down and end my Turn!" he said, inserting another two card into his Duel Disc, as they appeared next to him. Kurogasa smiled, when he drew his next card.
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC:3
Ritsu: 4000/SPC: 5
"Alright, Leonidas, attack Five Headed Dragon, with Omega Eraser!" Leonidas charged towards Ritsu's Dragon, grabbed him with his mighty Claws and wanted to Fire his Blast dead-on, but the Five headed Creature charged his own attack and launched its multi-colored Blast at the same time, as Leonidas its white Beam. When the two blasts collided, it created a immense shockwave almost throwing both Duelists off the track. As the mighty titans fought for the winner, in the center of the blast, a sphere of all the elements grew larger and exploded with even greater force, tearing both giants into pieces.
"Incredible!" Shinji said in shock "He was able to take down one of the strongest dragons in the game!"
"I'm impressed." Lester said with a smile "It'll be fun dueling them."
Kurogasa grinned "Now activate Miracle's Wake! Since a monster on my side of the field was destroyed in battle, I'm allowed to bring them back! Return to my side Leonidas!" Out of a tower of pure light came Leonidas, eager to attack again. "Now attack Ritsu directly with Omega Eraser!" Leonidas launched his attack at Ritsu, hitting his duel runner almost and almost causing him to spin out of control as his life points shot down.
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 2
Ritsu: 1000/SPC: 2
"Well thank you, now I can activate my two face-downs starting with Shock Draw and Dragon's Call! With Shock Draw, I can draw cards equal for each 1000 Points of Damage I took, since I lost 3000, I draw 3 cards!" Ritsu drew three times
"Very nice." Kurogasa complimented
"Next Dragon's Call can be activated if I take direct Damage. I can summon dragons from my hand or deck whose combined attack is equal or lower to the damage I just took!" Ritsu took out three cards from his deck
"So you can summon up to four monsters." Kurogasa said
"I summon Exploder Dragon(3/1000/0), Angel Dragon(2/1000/1000) and finally Pitch-Dark Dragon (3/900/600)!" Ritsu shouted as three Dragons shot out of his deck flying next to Ritsu.
"I know what you are planning and I cant wait for it! I end my turn with 2 new face-downs!" Two new reverse cards appeared next to Kurogasa.
Ritsu was wavering again, as his sight got blurry."Damn, I still don't feel that well. If I don't watch out I might collapse!" Ritsu thought while he was rubbing his eyes, his body was feeling heavy. His eyes were so sore like he didn't sleep for months. Ritsu wasn't paying attention as his duel runner was closing into Wall causing everyone to panic
"Ritsu! Watch out!" Yuzuki yelled at him
"Damn, he's lost a lot of blood from his last duel." Akira said, causing Krad to lower his head in shame.
"Wake up Ritsu!" Kurogasa yelled "No time for napping! Its your Move!" Kurogasa bumped his runner into the back of Ritsu's, shaking him awake.
"Thanks! I draw!" Ritsu drew his card
Kurogasa: 4000/SPC: 3
Ritsu: 1000/SPC: 3
"I summon Blizzard Dragon (4/1800/1000) in attack mode!" A light blue ice dragon appeared "But he won't be staying for long because I remove him from play in order to summon the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon (10/2800/2600) in attack mode." Ritsu's black dragon rose of a pillar of fire, entering the field with a loud roar.
"If we know Ritsu, then this next move won't be a surprise." Nami said with a smile
"Go Ritsu!" Yuzuki said
"Go Kurogasa!" Kuraki also said, causing both girls to go into a stare off.
"Now I tune my level 3 Exploder Dragon and Pitch-Dark Dragon with my level 2 Angel Dragon!" Angel Dragon turned into three synchro gates and surrounded the other dragons, forming a combined six stars
When the stars of heaven converge, they unlock the door to a true salvation, become the light that descends from heaven! Synchro summon! The Dragon of Light, Raikou- The Dragon of the Heavens (8/3000/2400)!
"Now I'm ready for battle!" Raikou said as he glared at Leonidas
"Now I activate Raikous Ability! By discarding Luster Dragon (4/1900/1600) from my hand to the graveyard he gains the attack of the discarded monster which is 1900! Enough to overpower your Leonidas!" Ritsu discarded Luster Dragon as Raikou grew in Power (3000-4900) "Raikou, attack Leonidas with Heaven's Flame!"
"With pleasure! Have a taste of my flames!" Raikou growled as he released a blast of pure flames at Leonidas.
"To bad, I activate the trap card Scale Mail! Now Leonidas loses 1000 attack points but in exchange he cannot be destroyed in Battle!" Kurogasa explained, as his monster lost most of his power, but became covered in golden scales (3000-2000)
"But you still take the Damage!" Ritsu pointed out as Raikou's blast collided with Leonidas, but Leonidas recovered fast and roared with rage.
"Forgive me Leonidas" Kurogasa thought as he looked at his Dragon then to his face-down.
"Sorry Ritsu but I cant let you hurt Leonidas without giving you something in return! Something like this! I activate the trap card Synchro Prominence, now for every synchro monster on the field, you lose 1000 Life Points! Since there are already two on the field, you take 2000 points of damage and since your life points are only 1000 you lose!" Kurogasa's card unleashed two streams of fire which sped towards Ritsu.
A card popped out of Ritsu's graveyard "By removing Life Dragon in my graveyard from play, any effect damage I would take becomes zero and I gain life points equal to that amount!" Ritsu's small dragon jumped towards the two flames and swallowed them with a strong bite as golden stardust rained down to Ritsu
Kurogasa: 1100/SPC: 1
Ritsu: 3000/SPC: 3
Ritsu turned his Duel Runner backwards, to face Kurogasa, who was smiling, seeing how good he's become. Both of them started to laugh.
"Since you upgraded your deck with Raikou you've became more of a challenge! Last time it took me a few turns to beat you, but now I have to give it my all!" Kurogasa laughed as he was simply enjoying himself.
Ritsu smiled "To a bright future!"
"And to a fated rematch!" They yelled in unison
"I set one card face down and end my turn!" One reverse card appeared on the field as Leonidas lost his gold scales (2000-3000)
"I draw!" Kurogasa drew his card
Kurogasa: 1100/SPC: 2
Ritsu: 3000/SPC: 4
"This is incredible! Just incredible!" Akira said "These two aren't holding anything back!"
"That was our vow." Nami said "If we were to duel each other, then we would give it our all."
"This is getting exciting!" Miharu said on the edge of her seat
"Your telling me, I'm starting to shake." Melody said as she showed them her hand, which was shaking
"I play the Speed Spell Angel's Baton! When I have 2 or more speed counters, I can draw two cards and discard one!" Kurogasa drew twice and discarded one card "Now I activate Leonidas's ability! I select one LIGHT monster in my graveyard and then Leonidas gains half of it's attack points!"
"Oh no." Ritsu said
"I select Haos Laserman (6/2200/2000), the card I discarded through Angel Baton!" A faint image of Laserman appeared in front of Leonidas as he absorbed it (3000/4100) "Attack Raikou! Omega Eraser!"
"I activate (Azure) Dragon's Barrier, keeping my dragon safe!" Ritsu said as a gold barrier protected Raikou
"You'll still take damage!" Kurogasa said as the shock wave hit his duel runner
Kurogasa: 1100/SPC: 2
Ritsu: 1900/SPC: 3
"I end my turn." Kurogasa said.
"I draw!" Ritsu drew his card
Kurogasa: 1100/SPC: 3
Ritsu: 1900/SPC: 4
Ritsu looked at his card and gasped in shock "This card is the card Kurogasa gave me. Honest (4/1100/1900)"
3 years ago
After his duel with Ritsu, Kurogasa was packing his things for his journey.
"When do you think we'll see each other again?" Kurogasa turned to see Ritsu standing in the doorway
"Can't say, one, two years maybe." Kurogasa said as he took out a single card from his deck and handed it to Ritsu
"Why are you giving me this?" Ritsu wondered
Kurogasa simply smiled "If your going to have a rematch with me, then this card will be the clincher."
"This card is the only card that I saved for this very day" Ritsu thought "And this card will finish it!" Ritsu added the card to his hand "I end my turn!"
"What is he thinking!" Terra thought "If Kurogasa draws a monster, Ritsu won't stand a chance!"
"Don't worry, I know he has a plan." Yuzuki said
"Alright Ritsu! It's time I ended this!" Kurogasa drew his card
Kurogasa: 1100/SPC: 4
Ritsu: 1900/SPC: 5
"I summon Haos Ravenoid (4/1500/1200) in attack mode!" An armored warrior with white wings appeared in a cyclone "Next I activate Leonidas's effect again! Absorb Laserman!" Leonidas absorbed Laserman as he gained more power "I guess the record is now 6-0 Ritsu. Leonidas, attack with Omega Eraser!" Leonidas fired a giant laser at Raikou
Ritsu could only smile "Sorry Kurogasa, but the record is now 5-1, because I discard Honest from my hand so that Raikou gains Leonidas's attack strength!" An extra set of wings appeared on Raikou's back as he gained a huge power boost (3000-7100)
Kurogasa smiled "Well done Ritsu, you finally surpassed me."
"Raikou! Honesty Heaven's Flame!" Raikou fired a massive fireball at Leonidas, consuming him in one shot.
Kurogasa: 0/SPC: 0
Ritsu: 1900/SPC: 5 :Winner
"AFTER AN INTENSE FINAL MATCH, RITSU WILL BE DUELING AGAINST SATOSHI IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND!" One by one every crowd member started to clap and cheer for both duelists
Ritsu walked over to Kurogasa "I can't believe it, I finally beat you!"
"Yeah well-" Kurogasa put Ritsu in a headlock and rubbed his head "Don't let it go to your head."
"So I'll finally get my match with him." Satoshi said with a smile "Interesting."
Ch.30 End
Thetrueazure: Yeah! Now Ritsu get's to face Satoshi!
Kazuma: Yeah, now I know never to make a bet with you ever again.
Thetrueazure: Stay tuned for the final match
Ritsu: It's finally here, the final match against Satoshi. It's not going to be easy, after our last duel he's been making new strategies against my dragons. Will I be able to beat him?
Next Time: Yugioh 5D's Power of the Six Elements; Flames of Honor
"Let's go Satoshi!"
